Xbox One X Project Scorpio Edition BD-ROM Drive Replacement

Step 1 Outer Case



• Use a T9 Torx screwdriver to remove the 13mm screw which is under and to the left of the power input.
Step 2




• Using precision tweezers, remove the screw tab located on opposite side of the box.
• Use a T9 Torx screwdriver to remove the 13mm screw revealed underneath the tab.
Step 3
• Orient the case so that the front of the Xbox (the side with the power button) is facing you.
• Remove the top of the case by sliding the case towards you.
Step 4
• Using a T9 Torx screwdriver, remove the two 15mm silver screws that are holding a circuit board/panel to the side of the interior metal casing.
• Using the same screwdriver, remove the 9mm black screw located farther to the right on the same circuit board/panel.
Step 5
• Remove the unscrewed panel from the side of the device by pulling it toward you.
• Be mindful of the connector, as it is fragile.
Step 6
• Pull the upper edge of the white clip down, and then remove the white connector from the dislocated panel using precision tweezers.
• Do not force the connector out, as it is fragile. Wiggling may be necessary.
Step 7
• On the top of the device in the corner directly above the white connector, there is an oval plate held in place by two screws.
• Remove both of these 7mm screws with a Torx T9 screwdriver.
• Lift the detached plate off to the side.
• The plate is still connected to the device.
Step 8
• Use a Torx T9 screwdriver to remove the six 47mm long screws, which attach the bottom side of the outer case.
Step 9
• Turn the Xbox over, so that the bottom of the case is on top.
• Lift the bottom of the case off of the Xbox by pulling it up and toward you.
Step 10 BD-ROM Drive
• Flip over the device again, so that the top is facing upwards.
• Remove the 4 smaller 11mm screws in the lower left corner on the metal casing using a Torx T9 screwdriver.
Step 11
• Flip over the device again, so that the bottom is facing upwards.
• Using a Torx T9 screwdriver, remove the two screws located on opposite sides of the metal casing. One is near the fan vent, and the other is near the power supply vent.
• The left screw is 11mm and the right screw is 7.5 mm.
Step 12
• Remove the metal casing by pulling it upward, revealing the interior components of the device.
Step 13
• Lift and rotate the BD drive to reveal the wires that connect it to the motherboard.
Step 14
• Using your fingers, gently unplug the two sets of wires connecting the drive to the motherboard.
• Alternatively, you can disconnect the wires from the drive-side sockets. This is much easier if you have not removed the power supply.
• The BD drive should now be completely detached from the rest of the device, and it can be set aside.
